Polar TVs don't pose any particular problems. You can tune channels like this.

1. Using the remote control, you need to enter the "Menu" by pressing the corresponding button.
2. Select the "Channels" item.
3. Many masters recommend specifying Germany in the “Country of broadcasting” column.
4. In the item "Broadcast mode" you need to select the appropriate format.
5. Press "Autosearch" and select the category "ALL". If you need to connect only digital channels, then you should click on "DTV".

The instructions for the TV fully describe all the actions that can and cannot be performed with this technique. It describes the use of all additional connectors. It is possible to connect a phone, video camera, computer, soundbar and much more. It happens that the device begins to behave atypically. Here are the common problems with Polar TVs and their causes.

1. Channels do not switch, the control panel is broken. In this case, you can try to hand it over for repair. If it cannot be repaired, a universal remote control will do. Some models have buttons on the case. Then you can turn on any channel without a remote control.Otherwise, you will not have to use the equipment at all during the repair.
2. The TV does not respond to commands from the remote control or control buttons. There may be several reasons. The most commonplace - the remote control or buttons suffered as a result of mechanical damage. If this option is excluded, then the problem is in the wrong operation of the software. In this case, you will have to update the firmware.
3. The technique does not respond to external devices. We are talking about an antenna for analog, digital television or a TV set-top box. It happens that the TV simply does not output a signal through a specific port. First you need to try to tune the channels manually. If this does not solve the problem, then you will have to contact the master. The technique behaves in a similar way if the connectors are damaged or the motherboard is malfunctioning. In some cases, a system failure - then you need to change the firmware.
4. The TV turns on, but the color reproduction is broken. The picture ripples or appears in the negative. The reason may be mechanical damage to the display or malfunctioning of its loops. Rarely is the video signal processing board the problem.
5. After switching on, there is sound, but the image is not displayed. The problem lies in the display backlight lamps. The master can make a replacement.
6. The TV does not connect to Wi-Fi. It happens that the signal disappeared suddenly. You can try restarting your router and TV. If the connection is the first, then you should contact your provider. Sometimes the parameters of the router prevent the connection.
7. The screen narrowed. Expanding a picture can be quite simple. It is enough to go to the "Menu", select the item "Image". So you should find the "Image size" and set the desired parameters. You can also do the default setting.

Buyers claim that Polar TVs are good for the price. The image quality is satisfactory for most models. The pleasant design of the body itself allows you to successfully fit the technique into any interior. Televisions are well suited for those looking for a temporary fix or a simple panel without unnecessary add-ons.

Users note that the price of the entire model range is more than acceptable. For that kind of money, the manufacturer offers good quality. The remote controls are pretty good quality. However, changing the element to a new one is problematic. In the event of a breakdown, you can use only a universal remote control, because it is almost impossible to purchase a branded one.

Many users complain about the sound quality. The volume control on some models is not smooth enough. The frequency range is too short. Some buyers claim that additional speakers solve all problems with sound quality.
